  • Response of Orthoptera Assemblages to Management of Montane Grasslands in the Western Carpathians
    Biologia 66/6: 1127—1133, 2011 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-011-0115-1 Response of Orthoptera assemblages to management of montane grasslands in the Western Carpathians Vladimíra Fabriciusová, Peter Kaňuch &AntonKrištín* Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Ľ. Štúra 2,SK-96053 Zvolen, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Montane grassy habitats in the Western Carpathians are relatively well preserved, maintain high species richness and are often important in accordance to the nature conservation policy in Europe. However, knowledge about the impact of farming on the habitat quality there is rather poor. The influence of various management types (permanent sheep pen, irregular grazing, mowing) on Orthoptera diversity and species determining assemblages of these habitats were analysed on 72 plots in Poľana Mts Biosphere Reserve. Altogether, 36 Orthoptera species (15 Ensifera, 21 Caelifera) were found, whereas the highest number of species was found on plots with irregular grazing (28 species), followed by plots with mown grass (17) and permanent sheep pens (14). All four measures of the assemblages’ diversity confirmed significant differences. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, correct classification rate of Orthoptera assemblages was unambiguous according to the type of management. Each form of the management harboured several characteristic species. Thus implications regarding the biodiversity conservation and grassland management were given. Key words: bush-crickets; grasshoppers; pasture; ecology; nature conservation Introduction or the influence of plant succession in meadows without any management (Marini et al. 2009). Higher species Various systems used to manage grasslands have a diversity was found in grazed compared to mowed significant influence on plant and animal communi- meadows in alpine habitats (Wettstein & Schmid 1999; ties, their species richness and abundance (Kampmann Kampmann et al.

Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa” 62(2): 191–211. https://doi.org/10.3897/travaux.62.e48604 Abstract During 2013–2017, assemblages of bush-crickets and grasshoppers were surveyed in two neighbour- ing flysch mountains – Čergov Mts (48 sites) and Levočské vrchy Mts (62 sites) – in northern part of Western Carpathians. Species were sampled mostly at grasslands and forest edges along elevational gradient between 370 and 1220 m a.s.l. Within the entire area (ca 930 km2) we documented 54 species, representing 38% of Carpathian Orthoptera species richness. We found the same species number (45) in both mountain ranges with nine unique species in each of them. No difference in mean species rich- ness per site was found between the mountain ranges (mean ± SD = 12.5 ± 3.9). Elevation explained 2.9% of variation in site species richness. Elevation and mountain range identity explained 7.3% of assemblages composition. We found new latitudinal as well as longitudinal limits in the distribu- tion for several species.

  • A Guide to the Shropshire Orthoptera and Dermaptera by David W. Williams
    A Guide to the Shropshire Orthoptera and Dermaptera by David W. Williams Excluding escapes and naturalised aliens (eg Egyptian grasshopper, house cricket) thirteen species of Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets etc) and three species of Dermaptera (earwigs) have been recorded in Shropshire. Two further species currently occur in adjacent counties. Cockroaches & mantids (Dictyoptera) are also included within the 'orthopteroid' insects (as are phasmids). Britain has three native species of cockroach, but it is unlikely that any of them will turn up in Shropshire (though there are old records of Oriental cockroach, an established alien inhabitant of artificially heated places). This guide is intended to cover all the species likely to be encountered in the field in Shropshire. Orthoptera; Caelifera: grasshoppers (5 spp.), groundhoppers (2 spp.) Grasshoppers are insects of high Summer. They overwinter as eggs, hatch in Spring and mature during June and July, persisting into Autumn. Groundhopper life-cycles are more variable. They overwinter as either nymphs or adults and can be found as adults in any month of the year, though there is a peak of activity in Spring. Sexing Grasshoppers Identification of grasshoppers can sometimes be helped if the gender of the insect is established. Several features separate the sexes. The main picture, left, shows a pair of meadow grasshoppers. Notice that the male is smaller than the female, but has obviously longer antennae. This is true of all British grasshoppers. He also has relatively larger eyes and longer wings, though these differences can be very subtle in some species (in meadow grasshoppers, females have particularly short wings). The lower pair of photographs show the difference in the abdominal tips of the two sexes (in this case both are mottled grasshoppers).

Although female-biased 16 SSD predominates among insects, the proximate ecological and evolutionary factors promoting 17 this phenomenon remain largely unstudied. Here, we employ modern phylogenetic comparative 18 methods on 8 subfamilies of Iberian grasshoppers (85 species) to examine the validity of 19 different models of evolution of body size and SSD and explore how they are shaped by a suite 20 of ecological variables (habitat specialization, substrate use, altitude) and/or constrained by 21 different evolutionary pressures (female fecundity, strength of sexual selection, length of the 22 breeding season).

  • Influence of Multiple Factors on Insect Colonization of Heterogeneous
    ECOLOGY AND POPULATION BIOLOGY Influence of Multiple Factors on Insect Colonization of Heterogeneous Landscapes: A Review and Case Study with Periodical Cicadas (Homoptera: Cicadidae) 1 2 WILLIAM M. COOK AND ROBERT D. HOLT Global Institute of Sustainability, Arizona State University, Tempe AZ 85287 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(5): 809Ð820 (2006) ABSTRACT The literature on herbivorous insects in heterogeneous habitats has addressed insect population responses to patch size, distance from source populations, habitat edges, and variation in host stem density. Studies typically conclude that insect colonists respond positively to the area of host plant patches, but there is little consensus on how insects respond to variation in host density at the patch level. Although observed variation likely results partially from differences in study species and focal habitats, deviations from expectations also may reßect the importance of unmeasured habitat parameters. In this study of colonization by cicada Magicicada cassinii (Fisher) in an experimentally fragmented old Þeld, we simultaneously examined landscape variation in patch size, distance from the sources of colonization, and local host plant stem density (at a within-patch scale) and also considered edge effects. Per stem colonization was positively related to proximity to the population source and habitat patch size but negatively related to local host stem density. The effect of edge was nonsig- niÞcant. When coarser scale estimates of local stem density (calculated by averaging the Þgures for all quadrats within patches) were used in analyses, fewer signiÞcant main effects were found and sometimes interactions occurred. Our study highlights the importance of including all potential explanatory variables in analyses, with what we feel is a novel observation that the explicit consid- eration of Þne-scale, within-patch variation in local stem density can be important to the interpretation of insect dispersal and colonization.

  • La Variabilité Morphologique De Metrioptera (Bicolorana
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 40 Warszawa, 28 II 1987 Nr 12 Anna L iana La variabilite morphologique de Metrioptcra (Bi color a na) bicolor ( P h il.) (Orthoptera) [Avec 2 cartes, 28 text-figures et 10 tableaux] Abstract. On the basis of the biometrical measurements the analysis of an interspecific variability of eurosiberian species Metrioptera (Bicolorana) bicolor (P h i l .) is presented. Two subspecies: M. (B .) bicolor bicolor (P h i l .) and M. (B.) bicolor angarica ssp. n. are dis­ tinguished. INTRODUCTION Metrioptera (Bicolorana) biocolor (P h il.) cst une des especes indigenes les pins interessantes egalement par egard a sa repartition geograpliique que par ses exigences ecologiques. L’aire de cette espece, le xdus souvent definie comme eurosiberienne, s’dtand depuis la France (environs de Paris) a l’ouest jusqu’a Jakoutie et Sakchalin a l’est (c’est-a-dire depuis 0°E jusqu’aux 140° 30'E); depuis les montagnes d’Europe meridionale au sud jusqu’aux les en­ virons de Bruxelles, Skania, les environs de Vilno et Moscou et ensuite depuis le Kirghistan et la Mongolie au sud jusqu’au district de Jakoutie et d’Olek- minsk an nord (c’est-^-dire en Europe depuis 44° jusqu’aux 56°N et en Asie depuis 40° jusqu’aux 62°N) (Carte 1). Les details de la repartition en Sibórie sont inconnus, mais en general l’aire totale de M.

(caelifera) in the Krinigsbrucker Heide, Saxonia For many years Podisma pedesfn's seemed to be extict in northern and middle Germany. However, a small population has been rediscovered in an extended heath area originated from former military use. The habitat is described in detail. Zusammenfassung Nachdem Podisma pedesfris in Nord- und Mitteldeutschland fur lange Jahre als Abb. 1: Trockenrasen / Halbtrockenrasen-Komplex vor einem lichten Kiefernwald, Le- ausgestorben galt, wurde jetzt eine kleine Population in einem ausgedehnten bensraum der Gewohnlichen Gebirgsschrecke (Mai 2000).
